Joe, don't saw too loud or your sis won't be able to sleep. That is an ungodly hour to get up for work. Heck, I don't even want to get up that early for something fun. I hope your day goes well and you find lots of reasons to smile.

I will be back in the corner at some point today but I am going back to Salsa Funk class tonight. Finally!

Good Morning Jo, Ana, Haroula, and Cailyn. Loved the humor this morning Joe. Ana don't work to hard! Have a sunny day Haroula. Cailyn how was your trip to New Hampshire? Wishing everyone a stress free day.

Good news and bad news on the neighbor's son's cats that he wanted me to adopt. Good news is they got adopted. Bad news is my Neighbor adopted them. Sigh. He couldn't refuse the son who he still gives money to even though the kid hasn't lived here since he was 2 and now he's in his mid 30's and STILL in college.

Anyway, I will probably end up with 2 new cats eating at my feeder and sleeping in the cat tents before long. Oh well, I tried. At least my neighbor is doing the right thing for the kitties. He told me their names and descriptions (descriptions are not even close to what one looks like). I spotted that one just now over the fence looking at me like 'who are youuuuu?'. He's a long hair (neighbor forgot to tell me that detail which would have helped a lot. Looks very pretty 10 months old neutered. Other one is mostly black too he says. I'm wondering if it's a long hair too. And it's a girl (spayed). He says they sleep in their cat carriers at night outside his back door and he lets them in for hugging and food, etc. They have never been outside since birth! Hope they learn the fun stuff to do with all the birds and mice and that if they do venture over here (it's just a matter of time) that they get along with all the outdoorises. Ohhhhh! We shall see what the pecking order will be. Hoping for the best for those little guys! I'll do what I can to coach the neighbor, who has never had a cat, ever. He's gonna have an interesting life from here on. I'm trying to convince him to let them remain indoor cats. He's not sure he wants to but they are litter trained etc and it would be so simple. Yup.

I had to be up and out early. Needed a bunch of new scripts for chronic conditions. Of course, they just changed me to a new doc who would not give me scripts without me being there. I did not like her even one little bit. I loved my last doc

Anyway, eventually I got some of the meds and picked them and picked up hubby's meds too. Now I need to record the numbers and when they need to be refilled.

Cable guy coming this afternoon. Our phone has always had bad moments since we switched it to cable. And our cable was up and down and laggggggggy yesterday.

Doggies were more than anxious to have breakfast when I got home. Son is working nights so have to keep the 4 legged ones quiet as son's bedroom is right at the dog barking spot.

Gail, I hope the treatments go well and you will be finished soonest.

Ana, how is your toe? Have fun tonight.

Good afternoon boomies. I had a nonstop catch up day while waiting to get back in the corner but it'd delayed until tomorrow. I am now getting ready to head to class in a little bit. I can't wait to dance again.

I hear the winter storm is on it's way too. Anywhere from 6-12 inches. It will be pretty and won't last long so I won't complain.

I was unloading groceries from the back of my truck this afternoon and my truck slid down the driveway on the ice and almost ran me over. It went 6 feet before I could get the drivers door open and stomp on the emergency brake.
